[Let us assume lasers are the basis of mobile suit beam weaponry and hence it's IC for her to know this stuff ~~that I will bullshit all the way. Einstein is a freaking genius~~.]

LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. As the name describes, we need to conduct stimulated emission of photons. There are various ways to produce one, though we would be severely limited by available materials. What kind of laser are you interested in?

You lost me at "stands for" Stel. Look. if you can build it, we will find something to attach it to.

From:

If you want something military grade, with the only source of parts being Scavenger's Yard it can take [pause[ years.

~~Unless the Wilderness changes to my world/time perhaps~~

From:

You know how to build a laser?

From:

Maybe.

From:

But you would know where to start? That's a big step forward already!

From:

The principle, yes, though it would take some trial and error. Aside from that, the years of looking for materials may also let you and other enthusiasts to think.

From:

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make any demands. I just thought it sounded, well, excellently awesome. That someone could build a laser.

From:

Ah, it isn't about demands. It is that any kind of weapon needs the wielder to be responsible and cunning. What to attack, when to attack, how to defend and what you are willing to lose for the cause.

You knew I was just being silly, right?

From:

Oh, I was too! I don't really know how to make lasers that can fight monsters. It's so advanced, I probably don't even know sans amnesia. I was just—what do you call it? "Pulling your leg".

[OR IS SHE? In any case, relevant trusted parties know how to find her if they have further interest.]

From:

Of course. But you would know how to make smaller lasers? Hypothetically?

From:

We actually already have laser devices here. Some of us have DVD players, if I'm not mistaken? And I brought a couple of laser pointers from one city Wilderness.

From:

Plus I've been told that the sphere gave everyone lasers once, for laser tag. Of course they were harmless lasers, not the people destroying lasers you're thinking of.

Heck even the wii remotes have laser technology in them, it would be a matter of making them more powerful. In theory.

And how would one amplify their power?

From:

Increase their power source and the focusing lenses to start with. It depends on the strength of the original laser, I guess.

So would it be better to improve a weak laser, or start from the beginning?

From:

Do you think this place would give us access to materials to start from scratch?

I know that there are creative people here, and the Wilderness changes. Anything is possible. But you likely have been here longer than me; do you think the chances are slim of materials being acquired?

From:

Well even if we were to get the materials, it would be likely that the Sphere would sabotage the effort at some point in the process. Besides, even if you built your dinosaur/shark war machine, who are you gonna aim those weapons at?

Aw. <3 Also, question dodge? What question dodge?

What is a wii remote?

Another problem is tuning up the power, since we have no laser power meter.

From:

It's the control to the wii video game system. They have some in the bar. They're the little white box next to the plasma tvs.

Yeah it's not like we're gonna find any of this lying around somewhere. ...Right?

I believe that an organized list of required components and materials is becoming necessary.
